A Resource- and Power-Efficient FPGA Implementation of a Segmented Chebyshev Tanh Activation Function Using Single-Precision Floating-Point Arithmetic
Artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads increasingly rely on dedicated hardware accelerators, including field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which offer parallelism and reconfigurability. The hyperbolic tangent (tanh) is widely used as a nonlinear activation function yet is costly to evaluate directly...
